Day 1 Sober from Alcohol

It’s my first day sober in a long time, and I’ve just come off a weekend of binge drinking. It feels like this nausea will never go away and sleep will not come. I’ve been pacing all day to keep myself away from drinking. I’m proud of myself for not relapsing today and I’m praying tomorrow will start to feel easier

Welcome! You can do it. May want to check with your doc. There are things that can help to get over the first few days and they have resources for long term plans.

Treat yourself for those first 2 weeks. Good food and non alcoholic drinks. Shit you wouldnt have bought while drinking buy. Just get over that 2-4 week hump.

Welcome Anna! Just one day at a time. If that sounds like too much, then one minute and one hour. This is a great community with lots of support and advice.
